"England and I have a particular story - I was close to going to play there many times," said Seedorf. "It never happened, so as a coach it would be great to experience English football and fans on a weekly basis."

"If there is a good project I would be happy to consider it. There are a lot of rumours about my next job but to be linked with important clubs is a nice feeling and it is always better to have options than to not have options at all," he added.

Newcastle fans would almost certainly a more experienced manager to help them get out of their current predicament, but Seedorf has the reputation as a player which should command some respect, whilst they also have a strong Dutch contingent in Tim Krul, Daryl Janmaat, Vurnon Anita and Georginio Wijnaldum.
